What's So Great About Circus Skills?
Circus Skills can be seen as a performance art or a sport. They are an excellent, fun, class activity offering many links to curriculum areas such as art, music, literacy and numeracy.
Skills such as diabolo, plate spinning and juggling with scarves, beanbags or balls improve hand-eye coordination, concentration, manipulation, throwing and catching skills, encompassing both fine and gross motor control and are excellent cross lateral exercises.
Larger equipment such as stilts, pedal-gos and unicycles require balance and control of the whole body, activating the vestibular system, waking up the brain and preparing it to take in new information.
